New Delhi: UPA chief Sonia Gandhi on Sunday reached out to AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa and congratulated her on the Tamil Nadu election victory. Sonia Gandhi has also extended 
an invited to the soon-to-be new chief minister for tea in New Delhi.This could be a new strategy by the Congress to distance itself from the 2G tainted ally DMK. It is a significant move though, as not all winning leaders have been invited in this manner. The AIADMK chief also accepted the invitation and will meet the UPA President next month.
Jayalalithaa also met the governor SS Barnala on Sunday to stake the claim to form the new government in Tamil Nadu.
She is likely to take oath on May 16.
